At a glittering charity gala, my husband walks in with his mistress on his arm, expecting me to shatter. Instead, I stand taller, and that's when I catch the attention of Damien Rothwell, the most dangerous man in San Francisco. He offers me a twisted bargain: a fake relationship to take down my cheating husband, but the chemistry between us is anything but fake. What he doesn't tell me is that we have a dark history, one that connects him to a murder, a buried secret, and a choice that will change everything. In three weeks, I went from wife to weapon to queen, and I'm not looking back.
